Typically, that is a sign that you have created a file locally
which now conflicts with one which has been added to the repository.
Was this directory actually checked out from CVS?  (I'm assuming so,
since you'd likely see other errors).

You could do a fresh checkout in "sibling" location and then use
'diff -r' to compare the two trees, perhaps.
